After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz blew the doors off the Pistons 120-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
